Your analysis isn't consistent with my experience at all. EUA has been broken for me, regardless of fare class purchased.

DBaker,

I am curious about your purchase habits. Are you generally an early or late purchaser, and on what fares? Have you noticed any difference with flights after about Mar.1?? Mr Fish was constantly trumped on EUA on his high, last minute fares by earlier booking Plats on lower fares (less than 40% success in 2001 and early 2002). Suddenly, he is being EUA'd left and right. Received another EUA yesterday (at Gold window), now running 100%.. (His CO flights in the last week or so are minimal, so this could just be a coincidence). But I am convinced that something has changed recently.

I still cannot believe that, even if just enough F are released at the Plat window for high-fare Plats, the remaining Plats wouldn't be first in line at te Gold window. It would be very interesting if a low-fare Plat and a high-fare Gold on this board were booked on the same flight. I would love to see how it unfolded in that case...
